Notes

'Tristis' European white birch (Betula pendula 'Tristis') is a tree for specimen, accent, and pollinator garden plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows at a rapid rate into an oval shape. Bees and butterflies visit its flowers in early to late spring. Deer tend to pass it by.

Pairs well with American arborvitae, Bog rosemary, Red fescue, and Yellow marsh marigold.
